Showing 1 - 5ASH 2014: Post-Transplant Brentuximab Vedotin Improves Progression-Free Survival in Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients
In Hodgkin lymphoma patients at risk for disease progression following autologous stem cell transplant, early consolidation post-transplant with brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris) significantly improved progression-free survival compared with placebo in the phase III AETHERA trial. The findings were...
ASH 2014: HIV-Related Lymphoma Can Be Safely Treated With Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related relapsed/refractory lymphoma can safely undergo autologous hematopoietic cell transplant, according to results of a phase II multicenter trial. At many centers, patients with HIV-related lymphoma are currently excluded from this potentially...
Search for Effective Regimens in Elderly Patients With Hodgkin Lymphoma

Regimens used to treat younger patients have too much toxicity for most older patients, and thus...
Successful Chimeric Antigen Receptor–Expressing T-Cell Treatment Reported in Advanced Lymphomas
Development of autologous genetically engineered anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T cells holds promise in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. CAR T cells are being studied in adult and pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemias and in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and...
NCCN: PET-Guided Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma Moving Into Clinical Practice
Interim positron emission tomography (PET) scan is being used to guide risk-adapted therapy in patients with early-stage and advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma for clinical research at academic centers, and experts predict that this will become standard of care in clinical practice. At the NCCN 8th...
